  • Passion to Profession, with Paco Labrador
    Nov 7 2024

    Starting out as a sports psychologist, Paco Labrador was always looking for ways to help athletes and programs bring out the very best in themselves.

He took the Naval Academy to their first NCAA Volleyball Tournament, and was voted the National Coach of the Year for Division 3.
